VietJet Air收到第一架波音737 Max, 订货近9年之后, VietJet Air receives its first Boeing 737 Max, nearly nine years after ordering, in a move boosting Vietnam-U.S. trade ties.

越南预算航空公司越战航空公司(VietJet Air)准备接收第一架波音737 Max飞机,该飞机在发出最初订单近9年之后,预计将在星期日交货。 VietJet Air, a Vietnamese budget airline, is set to receive its first Boeing 737 Max aircraft, nearly nine years after placing the initial order, with the delivery expected on Sunday. 此次活动是越南航空部门及其与美国的贸易战略的关键时刻, 因为购买被视为减少越南与华盛顿的贸易顺差及降低潜在关税的努力的一部分。 The event, attended by Vietnamese President Luong Cuong, marks a key moment for Vietnam’s aviation sector and its trade strategy with the U.S., as the purchase is seen as part of efforts to reduce Vietnam’s trade surplus with Washington and lower potential tariffs. 越南航空公司在2016年订购了100架737 Max飞机,并于2018年增加了一倍,目前在租的几架COMAC飞机中运营全空客机队. VietJet originally ordered 100 737 Max jets in 2016, doubling the commitment in 2018, and currently operates an all-Airbus fleet with a few COMAC jets leased. Boeing最近与新加坡就四架P-8A海上巡逻飞机进行交易, 尽管Boeing在2018年和2019年737次Max撞车案的刑事欺诈指控方面仍面临法律挑战。 The delivery follows Boeing’s recent deal with Singapore for four P-8A maritime patrol aircraft, though Boeing faces ongoing legal challenges over criminal fraud charges related to the 737 Max crashes in 2018 and 2019.
